Last time when I was in Prague (in June), we tried absinthe. The best place in Prague should be a small Absintherei in the city center. A really cool place to see with walls covered with old bottles. We ordered a traditional serving. The preparation is really nice to watch. But the taste of it? It's absolutely horrific for me. It's like swallowing a really sweat strong menthol flavored fire. It burns first in your mouth because of the strong menthol and second in your throat because of the high alcohol volume. The best thing there is, is to drink that glass of water you get with absinthe to wash it down :)

But anyway ... you are not in Prague every day and i would still recommend this experience to everyone visiting it. At least you can check drinking absinthe from your to do in life list :)
